The Lien Law furnishes subject for
discussion at every meeting Of the Legis-
lature. At every Legislature for some
Time past an effort has been made to have
it repealed. but it withstands the opposi-
tion. If by its repeal We could do away
with the credit system and have it so the
farmer could live independent of credit,
why then we voald be among the first to
advocate its repeal. But in our depressed
condition financially large per cent of
our farmers are forced TO buy a few things
on credit, and if the lien law is repealed
why they will have to get other security
and possibly be forced to a more expen-
sive and disastrous method Of securing
their supplies, for the repeal OF the lien
law will not put an end to the credit sys-
tenn. It is simple enough and closes up
with each year.

-fOUNTN REENHlcS."

We publish this week the suggestions
OF our cotelaporary, the Columbia RryiS-
ter, on the subject Of County Reforms"
We Go not agree with the Reyister and
others that the offices Of Auditor and
Treasurer should be consolidated and put
under control of one man. The Auditor
has {. vast deal OF work to 60, and his pay
is none too large The work OF the Treas
urer does not take so long, but the re-
sponsibilitv is large, and the pay should
be sufficient to guarantee the services OF
our best and most substantial citizens.
One man could not do the work of both,
and very little could be saved by consoll-
dating the Offices. Then they act as a
check on each other There is the APP
pearance OF economy sometimes that is
not genuine economy. 4 bill has been
introduced in the present Legislature to
consolidate these offices. We hope to see
it defeated.
As to the legal charges in the Office Of
the Master there might very well be a re-
vision Of the fee bill.
The State Superintendent OF Education
recommends that the Office Of School
Commissioner be made more that Of a
superintendent Of public schools, and
that all his time be required, and that his
salary be made $1,000, and that he stand
an examination before being appointed.
The Register recommends that the office
be made an hOuorary one. No doubt
plenty Of men could be found to accept
the Office, but If We arc to have public
school system its success in each county
will depend largely on tie enthusiasm,
the intelligence and tie ability Of the
County School Commissioner; and we
think. for the good Of the schools, the
suggestion of the State Superintendent is
by far the better plan. Put a competent
man at the head Of our public schools III
each county. demand Ill his time, pay
him good salary, and lengthen the
school term, and d long stride forward
will have been taken in the efficiency of
our public school system and in the edu-
cation OF the masses.
In regard to County Commissioners We
have been Of the opinion for some time
that the number ought to be increased,
say one from each township, who should
act as advisory members, and that the
chairman should be the working man Of
the Board.
The Trial Justice system, our cotempo-
rary says, may be necessity IN our Decu-
Liar condition, and the great necessity OF
securing good and competent men to fill
the position follows in order to make the
system more efficient. Such a course IS a
very important part in making the system
efficient. Most of the business Of the
county is done by the Justices at the
respective Court Houses. and good man
should be selected TO fill the position, and
then he should be paid reasonable com
pensation for his services. We believe in
making the office exclusively a salaried
one, and let all tue costs 90 into the coun-
ty treasury.

inasnuch as these, according to Mr.. Till

DR.. Pope has introduced bill in the
Legislature to establish Homo for disa-
bled Confederate soldiers. The idea is a
good one, but there are very few, if any,
OF these old veterans who are not doing
well and who need any such place. We
believe the State should make some pro-
vision for those who fought for her and
became disabled thereby. Our observa-
tion, however, has been that these old he
roes as a rule are doing better for them
selves and are more Independent than
those who have grown up since. We do
not just now recall any Of these gallant
men who would avail themselves of such
an institution if it were in existence. Be
that as it may, if there are any they
should not suffer or want.

THE PROTESTANT UNITY PLAN.
An Interesting Discussion in the
Southern Lutheran Synod.

SAVANNAH, November 2S.-The most
! important matter before the United
Southern Synod to-day was the report
on the overture from the House Of BiSh-
ops Of the Protestant Episcopal Church
/ in reference to scheme OF unity among
| Protestant Churches.
| The communicates set forth as i'll
htr-nt parts Of the substantial deposits
of Christian faith aud order. and there
fore as essential TO the restoration Of
unity among the divided branches Of
! ChristrndonI; the holy scriptures OF the
! Old and New Testamrnt a> the revealed
| word of God; the Nicene Creed rs i
! sufficient statement OF the Christian
| faith: the two sacramentS, baptism and
the supper OF the Lord. ministercd with
unfailing use of Christ's words of insti-
tuition and of the elements ordained by
Him; the historic Episcopacv locally
adapted in the methods OF its admins
tration TO the varying needs OF the nations
and peoples called of God iuto unity Of
His church.
The committee reported that it was
with unfeigned pleasure that the over
ture was received. Some Of the features
were endorsed, but the committee would
not advise union with any denomination
on the general grounds named III the
! communication. The Rev. Dr.. Fox, OF
Tirg,Iia, objected 10 endorsing the state
nent that the communication was re-
| ceived with unfeigned pleasure. He
thought that with pleasure" " as Sutt-
cient. He would not agree to the prop
osition that the Nicene Greed Is sufti-
cient statement * the Christian faith.
The Rev. Dr.. SC mucker, OF Potts
town, Pa, considered the overture im-
pertinent. The reading OF it raised up
| in him indignation, he declared. Nine-
tenths of Protesta nti>m rejects the claim
of the Epi>copate AS essential tn the
church. The House of Bishops considers
the Nicene Creed sufficient. and asks
that the reformation be ignored. A
more impertinent communication Dr.
| Schmucker did not believe coul'l ture
been sent out. Its very propo' itionS
show that the church from which it em-
anateS is not prepared for unity.
DR.. +. r. Horn, OF Charleston, Prrsl-
dent of the Synod, took the floor and
addressed the body On the report. de
confessed that the communication dld
not make upon him the same impression
that it did upon DR.. Schmncker. As 4
mater of fact. he honored the feeling
which prompted the members of the
House of Bishops in setting forth, even
if narrowly, basis upon which the
Bishops would be willing to unite. The
Lutheran Church cannot give up the
results of the Reformation, but sill he
did not want the report to 60 over. II
the report is narrow. there is the more
reason why Lutherans should show a
Christian spirit.
After long discussion the committees 5
report with some amendments was
adopted.
The Synod will meet in Wilmington,
y. c., in 1899.

Seven Kitchen Girls Injured,
One Fatally.


MILWAUKEE, November 2S.-A shock
ing accident occurred at the Kirby House
this morning, the boiler used for heating
water exploding and entirely wrecking
the rear end of the building, burying 4
number OF people beneath the ruins,
wounding several and one fatally. The
explosion occurred at $50. The ex-
plosion blew out portion OF the rear
wall thirty feet in width and extending
from the ground to the tloor of the fourth
story. One end of the dining room was
wrecked.
Most OF the gneSts had finished break
fast. Among those who remained there
was panic, but as far as known none
OF the guests was hurt. The kitchen OF
the hotel was completely wrecked.
There were about Il dozen girls in the

missile, which knocked him down. lie is
able to be about.
The alley back of the hotel is piled 70

from the wrecked building. The north
wa of the dining-roosn is blown in for
a distance of fifteen or twenty feet. The
iiremen got water upon the ruins in
time to eXtinguish tie flames before
they had gained much headway. The
accident vas probably caused by the
freezing of the feed pipe supplying the
boiler with water. Three girls are ter
libly burned, i'll addition to bruises
which they received, and one OF them
will die. Three other girls are less
seriously injured.

The prohibition cause has been defeated
in Atlanta after one of the most bitter and
hard fought battles ever waged at the
polls Prohibition had been tried in At
lanta for two years, but the great trouble
was it did not prohibit. Before legisla-
ton on this or any other subject can ac-
complish much, public sentiment must
demand the removal of the evil. The
good men Of the country, the leaders OF
thought and politics, must be on the side
of prohibition and temperance before leg
islation can be efectual They must not
only be temperate themselves, but they
must condemn. in terms anmistakle, in
temperance in others. Public sentiment
